Hello everyone! This is my very first journal! I saw that I've more than 10.000 pageviews, so I thought it would be the right time to make a journal. :D
I'm really busy at the moment with studying for my exams and I'm still working on some new clothing designs, my new website where you can buy the clothes and other things will be ready before summer I hope.
And I wanted to share my happiness with you: I went to an artshop yesterday and I bought some drawingpaper! Normally I worked on thick print paper made for text and photo's, It was quite a shock for me when I found out yesterday that I used the wrong kind of paper for my drawings :XD:.

Before the invention of the camera became prevalent, portraits of people were all done with pencil/charcoal/chalk and/or pastels. Those charcoal and pencil portraits looked exactly like a bloody photograph and the only way to tell it was done by hand is to examine the picture up close- then one can see the strokes.

As we know, back in those days people posing for portraits had to sit for a long time, lol... um.. even when the camera first was used people still had to sit for a very long time trying to maintain a pose. However, there was an artist who used to draw portraits for people, he had something of an eidetic memory. During the morning hours he would have 4,5, or 6 families/people come in and sit down for portrait poses, then do a rough sketch of them and send them home. Later, he would produce finished hand drawn portraits, that looked like a photograph...

Your work is very reminiscent of someone with an eidetic memory because the artist I mentioned above claimed he could literally project the image from his head onto the canvas and draw over that image, allowing him to produce vivid and extremely precise photorealistic art. Is that kind of how you work? Some of your drawings look as if straight from a photo, lol, and they are vividly perfect.

Honestly, I can't tell the difference between your breathtaking masterpieces and real life. You are extraordinary and extremely talented, and I hope that you never stop doing what you love. Heck, you even got a picture with Justin Bieber with you, posing with your magnificent art. For a second, I actually thought that was your artwork too! Your amazing talent is just remarkable, and I am glad that you decided to share your beautiful talent with the world. You inspire 985,275,295,085,258+ people per day, just by them staring at your fascinating pictures. Your art is everyone's expectation in art; That's how well you draw. I'm not even kidding! I poured my heart out on this message, and everyone else has with their own to. But, promise me that you'll never stop doing what you love. <3
